Exegesis
The phrase beit Achiya is a construct chain where beit {בֵּ֣ית | bē-ṯ} ‘house of’ modifies Achiya {אֲחִיָּ֑ה | ʾă-ḥî-yā} ‘Ahijah’, and vaAchiyahu {וַאֲחִיָּ֙הוּ֙ | va-ʾă-ḥî-yā-hû} shifts focus to the seer.
In context — 1 Kings 14:4
Jeroboam’s wife did so, and she arose and went to Shiloh , and came to the house of Ahijah. But Ahijah could not see, for his eyes had grown dim because of his old age .
